Science Teachers in Arizona - Recruitment and Retention (STARR)

在凤凰城大都市区，高需求学校经常出现教师持续空缺和合格教师流失率高的情况。该项目试图确定和支持多达60名合格的中学理科教师，他们将在高需求的环境中坚持下去。通过使用不同的招聘方法，结合营销计划，理科学生被确定并被招募参加本科生或本科后项目，这些项目与不同的学生有广泛的现场经验，对内容知识的要求很高，并有机会建立他们对科学的理解，将其作为探究教学。在学生完成他们最初的认证课程工作的同时，现场实习被安排在高需求的环境中，其中包括美洲原住民、拉丁裔或非裔美国人。毕业后，斯塔尔·诺伊斯教师参加以科学为重点的入职计划，这些计划特别支持他们在不同的课堂上使用科学作为探究，他们作为科学教师的发展，以及他们对学校社区的社会化。最终，这些发现的传播有望指导未来这一领域的招聘工作。

In the Phoenix metropolitan area, high-need schools often experience on-going vacancies in the teaching staff and a high turnover rate of qualified teachers. This project attempts to identify and support up to 60 qualified secondary science teachers who will persist in high-need environments. Using different methods of recruitment, in conjunction with a marketing plan, science students are being identified and recruited to participate in undergraduate or post-baccalaureate programs that have extensive field experiences with diverse students, strong content knowledge requirements, and on-going opportunities to build their understanding of science as inquiry instruction. While students are completing their initial certification course work, field placements are being arranged in high need settings that consist of students who are Native American, Latina/o, or African American. Upon graduation, STARR Noyce teachers participate in science-focused induction programs, which specifically support their use of science as inquiry in diverse classrooms, their development as science teachers, and their socialization into the school community.Ultimately, the dissemination of these findings is expected to direct future recruitment endeavors in this area.
